It's a Girl!!!

Well to our great surprise we found out we have a little girl!

Her name is So Young Lee and she was born 8/27/05. We got some pictures and info about her at 6 weeks and 5 months old. Right now she is 6 1/2 months old. She is still living at the KSS orphanage as far as we know. She looks very chubby!

We have been calling family this weekend to make the announcement.

Surprise!

Wednesday March 15, 2005

Our SW called at 7:20 am and said she had some news and wanted to meet with us after work. We set up a 6:30pm appointment for Renee & Pat to meet at our house. Pat got here first but she didn't know anything. Renee arrived a few minutes later with a large envelope. She said do you want the information first or to see the picture first? We said information first. She said she had the information on our referral in the envelope and the big surprise was...

(to be continued) :-)

Approved

We finally got our homestudy approval letter. We are officially approved as of 2/24/06 and we are now officially waiting for a referral. And we got a bill for $3000. I think the referral should come any day now. There have been a few given out already.

A Decision To Make

Our SW called us last Friday and said that passports are still coming through slowly and it's taking a long time to get caught up from last year. We were given the choice to take a referral now, or wait until summer when things may be more caught up. If we take a referral now, the child will probably not be able to travel until the end of the year. She said it would be the last group to come home in 2006. If we wait for a summer referral, they will probably travel in the first quarter of 2007. The only other hitch is the babies now are a little older than we were expecting- so we are probably going to be bringing home a 16 month old instead of a 12 month old. I think we are going to go ahead and get the referral now. We can send a care package to Korea now and we will get pictures and a couple updates probably.
